Although it boasts over 100 varieties of rainbow-colored, flavored, and textured prophylactics, Condom World does most of its business in foreplay and innuendo, with products ranging from furry handcuffs ($15) to rubber cat-o-nine-tails ($5), glow-in-the-dark and edible body paints ($11), edible undies ($5), and board games ($30). The international top-selling condom, Kimono (the world's thinnest), goes for $5 per 3-pack, Crown Japanese condoms $10 per 15-pack, and Rough-Rider studded rubbers 3 for $3. It also sells novelty condoms ($2 each), such as camo condoms (don't let them see you coming). Condom World is usually overrun by sheepish, titillated couples giggling at the various self-pleasurizers ($15-$98). A G(reat)-spot to bring that special someone for some quality bondage—err, bonding. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.
